Hi there. Does anyone have suggestions for how to pack and ship an eames lounge chair and ottoman from NYC to Hong Kong for a not outrageously expensive price?
Thanks!

If there were a cheap solution to that problem, it would surely be ill-advised.

USPS
Disassemble it and ship it via USPS in multiple boxes.

nico,
you might be a genius.
The question of how to best ship this chair comes up here often enough and your suggestion beats all hands down.

Thanks all for the feedback. After searching the forum, and other venues, it seems like usps plus independent insurance is the best option.

If I remember correctly, when I tried to ship the seat panel of the 670 (the largest single piece of the set) through USPS, it exceeded their size limit.

should be fine
From Michigan, I sent a set of 6 Nelson Swag Leg chairs to Japan in about a dozen boxes and I just shipped a Nelson Marshmallow Sofa to France again in multiple boxes.
